Condo Hotels / The DHTML/JavaScript Calendar / jscalendar-1.0

From: http://www.condohotelsplayadelcarmen.com/

See working example here: http://www.dynarch.com/demos/jscalendar/ or http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/

As you mouse over anything, directions about what it does (or what more it can do) are given at the bottom. The date picker can also be dragged and dropped by the top or bottom bar (cursor turns to a hand to indicate it's movable). The calendar can be configured to close either on a single click of the date or a double click/enter (which is helpful when the time is entered next). The time can be incremented by clicking repeatedly on hour or minute or dragging to the right or left.
